THE TORTURES OF A GAY MAN IN ASTANA: “THEY BURNT ME WITH AN IRON”
Regardg theGay Scene Kazakhstan.
ALEXANR ABRAMOV ON THE REALY OF GAY LIFE RSIA AND KAZAKHSTAN
In Kazakhstan, I found the gay scene to be much more unrground and on a much smaller sle than Rsia.
The lol gay muni exist on a much smaller sle here, and this was evint even large urban centers like Karaganda (pop. There were a handful of people who were out Karaganda, and every new gay person I met knew everyone else I knew.
A GAY UPLE RAN A RAL RTRANT PEACE. THEN NEW NEIGHBORS ARRIVED.
One way that gay people munited was through the Inter.
When I first me to Karaganda, I met people who later beme iends on gay msage boards bee was the only way I uld meet gays Karaganda. In Kazakhstan the Inter is one of the few plac where gay people n meet.
I found that many gay men Kazakhstan and Rsia unrstand their sexualy only terms of sex. Many of the married men seek sexual release om gay iends (many of whom are also married). He didn’t see a gay relatnship as a viable optn Kazakhstan, and th looked no further than sex.
